Washoe Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Founded in 1917, Washoe Golf Course is the oldest golfing facility in Reno. The layout has small greens and tree-lined fairways, but the fairways are wide and flat making them fairly forgiving. There are water hazards and bunkers strategically placed throughout. The mature landscape is carefully maintained with an elaborate sprinkler system that ensures that the course is green and ready for play all year round. Washoe Golf Course also has PGA Professionals on staff to help with individual or group instruction and extensive practice facilities that include a generous putting green, driving range, and a chipping area with practice bunker.

For the money this was a pleasant experience
For the discount I got via Golf Pass, this was a reasonably great deal. This course over the last few years has lacked essential upkeep especially in maintaining the cart paths and overall the entire course. It’s pretty evident that this was once a very respectable and beautiful GC but is now for various reasons is losing its luster and previous grandeur. Specifically, the course has not kept up with some essential and required maintenance, not all of which is the responsibility of the course managers, ie the lack of water for effective irrigation. The location is perfect for those visiting or living in Reno proper, however the location is also in my opinion, a probable and possible negative in the ever expanding housing and development of Reno. This property must look very enticing to some developers currently very active in Reno! Just thinking out aloud if this lack of maintenance is not purposeful and a precursor to something more sinister?
Too Slow
Need to figure out a better way to have golfers and folfers on the course together. Too slow. Took 5.5 hrs to play 18 holes. Need to have a marshal on the course, several out of control drinkers yelling, screaming, barfing.
Good for the price
Everything is always straight forward at Washoe GC. Staff is Friendly and pace of play was good. Finished round right at 4 hrs. Course was in good shape with grass in good condition. Bunkers are hard packed with a thin layer of sand on top. The small tea cupped greens are Challenging to stick a golf ball. Enjoyed the round!
Great Day, Great weather, great conditions for December
Played in a threesome and it was great. Course was in great shape for December 3. Staff was awesome and very friendly. Carts could use some yardage computers, or the course could be better marked for yardage.
